I’m not sure what to make of this report:

• The space is intentional. This is how the option is parsed.

• The preview image referenced at https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi3 boots
for me. Are you using the preview image? If yes, did you change anything?
Are you using it on a Raspberry Pi 3 (no other version is supported)? If
not, why not? The raspi3-firmware package is supposed to be used with the
preview image.

• You’re reporting a bug against an older version of the firmware package.
Why? The latest 2017-03-22 preview image uses the 1.20170317-3 firmware
package.
